Professional dog trainer, Butch Nelson, will be training each dog using a live defanged rattlesnake. This safe and effective method has been used successfully for many years. Participating dogs must wear a sturdy collar that can be adjusted so that there is no chance that the collar can slip off over the dog's head. The correct collar will be provided for those who don't have one. The training process only takes a few minutes for each dog so you can just show up and get in line. You will be able to watch the training from a distance.
